We went to Darby's doctor at UHC today to get a refill on his medication and weigh him. Finally, he has gained two pounds, bringing him up to 64 lbs.
Weight gain has always been a struggle for Darby since he began taking ADHD meds. He was on Concerta for 3 1/2 years with various others in the afternoon. However, the Concerta made him a zombie, and he was miserable. Last year we heard about Vyvance, which is a newer med, and while it doesn't make him a zombie, it has prevented him from gaining weight, though the dose has been the same for the past year.
We discussed the issues that were going on at the school and she agreed that Darby needed a better enviroment to learn in. It's good to have someone on our side once in a while.
